Description:

Learn and connect with others who are working on or interested in working on efforts to grow the local food economy in northeast and north-central Ohio. Whether you are a backyard gardener, a farmers, a business owner, an educator, or just someone interested in learning more, come and join this event.

The event will be structured in a way to enable you to learn new ways to get involved with local food systems, meet and find collaborative opportunities with others, and learn from some of the innovators in Northeast Ohio's local food system. We will leverage this event to strengthen collaborative networks both within our communities and between our communities as a way to accelerate growth and opportunity in the local food system.
